Irish playwright, George Bernard Shaw once said, “Life isn’t about finding yourself, it’s about creating yourself.” Luckily, we live in a time of phenomenal possibilities. Today you can create and manifest your highest intentions and your greatest abundance. Here’s a simple process to bring your dreams to life.“Intelligence is sexy” t-shirt?!

Identify Your Personal Vision

How you see yourself informs your motivation. It drives your decisions about where you live, work, socialize, eat, exercise, play, and, well, evolve. So, what’s your inner “ideal” ? How do you imagine yourself doing what makes your heart sing, in an ideal location, wildly successful? See every detail. Be bold! Write it out, or, paint it’s story and hang it on the wall. Create your “vision” board.

In the early 90’s, Jim Carrey wrote himself a check for $10 million dollars for “acting services rendered”, dated 1994. He walleted his reminder until, “Dumb and Dumber”, released in 1994, paid $10 million.

Recognize the Emotions of Abundance

When you detail your personal vision, you’re bound to feel enthusiasm, conviction, courage, creativity and joy. Invigorated, you build confidence. This acts as a magnet, attracting into your world every type of support essential to fulfill your ideal. Doubtful? Well, quantum physics finally proves what countless teachings have long suggested. In the words of Einstein, “Imagination is everything.”How Sarcasm Enhances Creative Thinking

Understand the Power of the Subconscious

When you engage all of your senses to see abundance you practice a “3D” reality. You impress your subconscious mind. Everything you manifest, including how your life is right now, originates in your subconscious, your field of limitless possibilities. Here are ways to cultivate this field and replace limited beliefs with new truths.

Honor Your Authentic Self

When you succeed, everyone benefits. Your wealth, health, and emotional ’ Joie de Vivre’ ripple across the pond of your community and this beautiful planet with its own infectious light. Isn’t time to claim your right to the life you deserve?

It’s a popular thought that people who are hateful towards the LGBTQ community are actually struggling with their own homosexual feelings. This idea is comforting because it not only explains their anger, but humanizes them and highlights their vulnerability. Is it true though, or is it just a lie that we tell ourselves in an attempt to make sense of irrational violence and prejudice?Buy an “Intelligence is sexy” t-shirt!

We were not the only ones who found this question to be compelling. Researchers from the University of Rochester, the University of California, and the University of Essex conducted a study that examined homophobia, sexual desire, and upbringing. They included four different experiments that covered hundreds of students throughout Germany and the United States. Implicit sexual desire was measured through word and picture tests that gauged the subject’s unconscious reactions to a wide variety of verbal and visual stimuli. Whether or not the subject was homophobic was measured in the same way – and also, they just asked. Sadly, many subjects were much more forthcoming in regards to their hatred than their genuine desires (which, I guess, is the whole point.)

Unsurprisingly, the subjects who were identified as closeted homosexuals were overwhelmingly the same ones who exhibited high levels of hostility towards gay people. “Individuals who identify as straight but in psychological tests show a strong attraction to the same sex may be threatened by gays and lesbians because homosexuals remind them of similar tendencies within themselves,” explained Netta Weinstein, a lecturer at the University of Essex and the study’s lead author.

The closeted subjects were also much more likely to report being raised in authoritarian households by parents who were not comfortable with homosexuality. They reported that their parents were very controlling throughout their childhood, and that they did not feel free to express their individuality at home. They had little say in how they lived their lives. Sadly, it would appear that this mindset followed them into adulthood.

It’s ironic, in a way. The firm discipline that these parents undoubtedly believed would ensure good behavior actually led their children to become violent and hateful – both to others and to themselves. “In many cases these are people who are at war with themselves and they are turning this internal conflict outward,” added study co-author Richard Ryan. “We laugh at or make fun of such blatant hypocrisy, but in a real way, these people may often themselves be victims of repression and experience exaggerated feelings of threat. Homophobia is not a laughing matter. It can sometimes have tragic consequences.”

Food waste is one of the most insidious global tragedies of the modern era.

Food waste is one of the most insidious global tragedies of the modern era. While people in the developed world die of obesity-caused illness, one in four people in Sub-Saharan Africa are undernourished. In the midst of this tragically skewed distribution of sustenance, an astounding third of all food produced in the world is lost or wasted, according to The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).

When converted to money, this amounts to a horrifying figure of one trillion dollars – which is, frustratingly, much more than the $3.2 billion that the World Food Project determined it would take to feed all 66 million hungry school-age children.

It’s easy to see the injustice in these numbers, but unfortunately coming up with a solution is much harder. Feeding the 5000 is one organization dedicated to addressing the problem of food waste. According to their research, forty percent of food in America does not get consumed, due to cosmetic flaws or simple over-abundance. They estimate that three billion hungry people could be fed if we simply saved our food instead of throwing out what’s left over or unwanted.

Feeding the 5000 is redistributing food that would otherwise be unused back into the community – and they’re doing it in the coolest way possible. The organization has taken the traditional soup kitchen model, and turned it into an event that more closely resembles a music festival.

The meals they host feature live DJs, cooking tutorials, and a group of people who truly get excited about the difference they are making in the world. They take food that has been determined to be unfit for sale due to a cosmetic flaw, which is still safe, nutritious, and tasty, and create a feast for the masses.

I found this idea to be super exciting, but was not sure how to help since there were no upcoming events near me. However, I found a quick and easy way to contribute by educating myself on their website and signing their Food Waste Pledge. I encourage you to do the same, and to come up with your own way to combat food waste and inspire others to share the nutritious wealth.

Have you ever noticed that people who engage in volunteer work seem super happy – maybe even obnoxiously so? Well, according to science, they actually do have plenty to smile about.

Have you ever noticed that people who engage in volunteer work seem super happy – maybe even obnoxiously so? Well, according to science, they actually do have plenty to smile about. Doing a good deed helps not only the beneficiary, but the humanitarian as well. Here are five reasons why engaging in service work can benefit us all:

Altruism Boosts Your Mental Health

BMC Public Health analyzed a myriad of studies and found that volunteering mitigated depression, increased life satisfaction, and had an overall positive effect on the study participants’ sense of well-being. This effect could be a culmination of the benefits listed below, or it could simply represent a mind at ease. When we help others, we become more at peace with our self-image, our world, and the role we play in our community. Volunteering gives us a sense of purpose. It would make sense that, by internalizing and validating our role as a helper, we can guard against the insidious sense of sadness that comes from feeling disconnected and incomplete.

Do-Gooders Live Longer

According to a study published in the American Journal of Public Health, helping others in a concrete way seemed to serve as a buffer in regards to the relationship between stress and mortality. Specifically, when a participant in the study helped others regularly, the stress that they felt in their daily life was less likely to lead to an early death. This was especially true when the help they provided was something tangible – for example, bringing a new mother a fresh meal to help out, or doing her dishes for her, as opposed to simply congratulating her and offering good wishes.

Helpers and Donors Are Less Stressed

Generous and kind people have been proven to exhibit less physical signs of stress than their stingy and selfish counterparts. In scientific studies, altruism has been shown to significantly lower blood pressure, reduce risk of hypertension, and lower cortisol levels. This effect was proven to be true not only for those who volunteered their time, but also for those who donated money. Generosity, as it turns out, may help the giver even more than the recipient.

Goodness Begets Goodness

When encouraging our children to help others, we often tell them to remember a time when somebody helped them. As it turns out, however, reminding them of their own altruistic actions might be more effective. According to a study published by the Association for Psychological Science, thinking about what we’ve given before makes us more likely to give again. Rather than counting our blessings, we should count the ways in which we have been able to bless others.18 Things To Give Without Expectation

Helpers are Happy

Most of us enjoy the warm, fuzzy feeling that overtakes us when we do something kind. Did you know, however, that psychologists have a term for this? When you help somebody, your brain’s pleasure and reward centers are activated, and endorphins are released. This is called a “helper’s high,” and it is as physical as it is emotional. You will feel more connected, satisfied, and grateful – and possibly even become addicted to the rush.

Go do something nice today. Do it for someone else, or take one of the reasons above to heart and do it for yourself. As Brian Tracy said, “Love only grows by sharing. You can only have more for yourself by giving it away to others.”

I confess to bias. I think more often than not, “strong Mom” or “strong woman” is, well, redundant. Still, I’m curious to discover common behaviors that inform parenting-rich with core values. Some maternal influence that cultivates character. So let’s call them instead, “ mindful Moms”, present, far from perfect, compelled by Mama Love.

1. Mindful Moms have confidence in themselves,

and naturally encourage the unique individual within each child. They resist the urge to mold them to their own expectations or desires. They instill the critical value of honesty.

8. Finally, alert Moms stress the value of education through the power of literacy.

They role model the joy of learning, the limitless “something new” to try, practice, explore. Their children benefit from appreciation for diversity and innate joie de vie.

At the end of the day, isn’t that what we really want? We want our children to be happy, to live happy, gratifying lives, and to aspire to leave the world a smidge better place…for their children…and their children…..and so on.

Many of us like to save money by purchasing store-brand facsimiles of our favorite foods, as well as other products.

Many of us like to save money by purchasing store-brand facsimiles of our favorite foods, as well as other products. In fact, these private-label brands make up seventeen percent of total sales in the United States, and their sales grow at about thirteen percent annually. A new study suggests that there may be a way to push this growth even further, while also satisfying the consumer community’s growing taste for ethically manufactured products.

A Concordia University study shows that profits for these store brands can increase if companies market their products as ethically sourced. However, this only works if they couple this approach with higher prices. Although increasing prices in order to boost sales may seem counter-intuitive, the reason this works has to do with consumer savvy.

Most Americans are aware that ethically made products are more expensive to source. Therefore, they will be skeptical of ethically marketed products with lower prices than their standard counterparts.

Concordia marketing professor Onur Bodur explains that a higher price point signals a standard or premium quality tier positioning. This is validated by the ethical attribute being marketed. As a result, the benefits of ethical marketing do not apply to products that consumers buy solely for their low prices. In fact, according to this study, when ethical attributes are eliminated from economy store brands their perceived value actually increases.

This implies that consumers are willing to believe that their products are cheap or ethical – but not both.

These findings suggest that it may be smart for retailers to pursue a two-tier store brand strategy. This involves marketing both economy store brands and premium ones, but doing so separately. The study further claims that premium store brands may be more competitive with name brands than their lower priced counterparts.

Although they cost more to produce, these products are able to yield higher profit margins and attract a different set of customers. This makes them a wise and lucrative choice for many stores. Meanwhile, the standard store brand items will continue to have a loyal following of bargain seekers.

“Companies see increased profits, consumers get improved products, and the environment experiences better protection,” says Bianca Grohmann, Concordia Research Chair in Marketing and study co-author. “This is a win-win-win situation.”

I don’t think I’m the only person in the world who suffers from the “grass-is-always-greener” syndrome, that infuriating notion that if I had what that person has then I will be happy.

I don’t think I’m the only person in the world who suffers from the “grass-is-always-greener” syndrome, that infuriating notion that if I had what that person has then I will be happy.

Especially in regards to relationships. Having been happily single for the past year, I decided recently that I’d remain single indefinitely, with no plans to pursue a relationship with anyone other than myself. For me this means no dating sites or apps, no blind-date setups by friends or relatives, loving or otherwise, no pursuit.

If I’m going to get involved with another human being, by golly, they’ll have to come hit me over the head to get me to notice them. Most of the time this works out great: I have incredibly fulfilling work, I give back to the communities within which I am involved, I have a lovely home and a sweet cat and a summer garden coming in. Generally speaking, my life is the picture of contentment. I want what I have.

And then I see them. The hands-holders, the exchangers of smoky gazes, the secret-smilers, the Eskimo-kissers. I see them on the bus and the bike trail and at restaurants and then suddenly it’s like they’re everywhere and what is wrong with me? Why don’t I have that?

It usually doesn’t take too much to get me back to remembering, “because you chose this” and returning to my contented state, but when I start getting all up in my head about this stuff and it starts threatening my serenity, I go straight to the list. The list of why being single is awesome.

Not why it’s okay, not why it’s all-right-for-now, but why being single is really and truly awesome.

1. I can flirt all I want.

I work in a bike shop: cue the near-constant entrance of hot, toned guys. I get plenty of opportunity to practice flirting and no guilt whatsoever.

2. Going out has endless possibilities.

The only thing I have to commit to when I go out is having a great time, and I always do.

3. The only person I have to check in with is my mother.

And surprisingly, my mother and I have had a much better relationship over the past year than we ever have had before. She’s become a greater friend and better confidant, and I love having her in my corner. Being single gives me the opportunity to enjoy checking in with my mother, something I never anticipated or thought I would like so much.

4. It’s. My. Bed.

Roo, my aging Greek cat who has slept with me for the past 15 years, still takes up a ridiculous amount of space for a ten-pound furball, but that’s just what cats do. I haven’t had a middle-of-the-night struggle for my sheets or duvet for a long time, and I don’t miss it one bit.

I don’t have to worry about his anything, and I rely on my friends to be sounding boards, advisory committees, emergency editors, and freak-out mitigators. As a result, my friendships are closer and stronger than ever, and I don’t invest too much time or energy in anyone else’s head space.

6. I don’t wonder if I am with the right person.

If you’re anything like me, every person you’ve ever dated has become a question of your own identity. This is nigh impossible when you’re with yourself. And if you still feel like you’re with the wrong person, there are a boatload of resources out there to helpyou. I luxuriate in knowing that if all else fails I am most definitely with the right person.

7. I don’t do stuff I don’t want to do.

Life is short, folks, and there are a LOT of things I want to do: complete the Colorado Northeast Ridge Route of Kingfisher Tower with my climbing partner, build a new roadbike on the 1981 celeste Bianchi frame that was donated to my shop last month, see the new X-Men movie, ride at least 100 miles per week this summer…the list just goes on, and it gets longer all the time. And it’s all mine. Every choice I make, every decision, every action, every time, is mine and mine alone. So far, it seems to be a pretty good way to live.

8. I know I haven’t settled.

What’s worse than being alone? Being with someone only because you don’t want to be alone.

9. I have time to work on myself.

And energy. And motivation. And no other distractions. Being single gives me the time to pursue my dreams.

10. I can be completely selfish, for absolutely the best reasons.

It’s a well-known truism that you cannot really love another person unless you love yourself. Being single gives me a lot of opportunity to get to know myself, what I have to offer, who I am, what I have to give. Being entirely and truly myself means that I am always, only going to offer the best me: to my friends, to my colleagues, to my customers, to my community.

11. I can be curious.

I get to take the time and commit the energy to figure things out, whether it’s my next climbing trip or my surprise attraction to someone. The thing is: my curiosity isn’t going to potentially hurt anyone else. So I get to indulge in it.

12. I can travel.

Traveling is better when you’re single, whether you’re traveling alone or not. I don’t have to worry about my boyfriend being offended that I didn’t invite him, or asking what I’m doing every step of the trip. And since I climb and ride with both men and women, this is especially important to me. The only creature who got their heart broken on my last climbing trip was my cat, and I’m pleased to report she’s well-recovered.

13. I save money.

And when I do spend it on other people, it’s people I really love for reasons I really want to spend it. I take my mom to the movies. I take my friends to lunch. I buy half the gas for a road trip to go rock climbing, and pick up half the camping fees. No regrets. Ever.

14. Life is more adventurous.

I’m bound by my own imagination, my creativity, my passions, my desires, which basically means, I have no boundaries. I can do anything I want to do.

15. I still have the excitement of finding the one. (Or not.)

Sociocultural norms tell me that I should find someone, settle down, get married, raise a family. But 73% of people in one survey said their current partner isn’t their true love. According to one site responsible for various relationship metrics, the odds are sorely stacked against me: 285,000 to 1 that I will “find the one”. And besides, why waste time searching for someone when I could be bettering myself: in effect, making myself someone else’s “one”?

Regardless of how this whole relationship thing works itself out in my life, I sleep well every night. (Alone. Well, with a cuddly feline usually curled against my lower back.) I greet every day with unmitigated enthusiasm. I work hard to be helpful in my community, at my job, to my friends and family, my colleagues, my employers, my world. Maybe I’ll be someone else’s one someday, but if not, that will be okay too. Somehow, all alone, by myself, on my own, I am enough.

When is the last time you truly pushed yourself to become a greater, better, and more magnificent person? Often, we become overly comfortable in our daily routines, and our sense of self can stagnate. You may find yourself in a rut, seeing the same person in the mirror who stood there ten years ago – […]

When is the last time you truly pushed yourself to become a greater, better, and more magnificent person? Often, we become overly comfortable in our daily routines, and our sense of self can stagnate. You may find yourself in a rut, seeing the same person in the mirror who stood there ten years ago – just a little bit older and a lot more tired.

Here are five ways to push yourself out of that rut and take back your sense of self:

Earn Your Own Respect

Finish this sentence: I admire people who can _______. Do you admire people who are gourmet cooks? Novelists? Your neighbor who can fix his own car? The word choice here is important, because admiration implies that you greatly respect the accomplishment, but consider it to be beyond your personal reach. Chances are it isn’t. If you smart small, and continually push yourself to take baby steps, you can accomplish more than you think. Do you admire marathon runners? Start small with a jog around the block. Maybe do a Couch to 5k program. Push yourself to your limit today, and go just a little farther tomorrow. Someday you will achieve your marathon-level goal and look back at your journey with a tremendous sense of awe and self-respect.

Talk to a Stranger

Talk to one new person each day for a week. If you are shy, this might be terrifying at first – but that will make this exercise even more worthwhile. The validation we receive from talking to others can have a powerful impact on our confidence and help to build our sense of community. When you feel more at home in the world and in tune with those around you, you will become more comfortable in your own skin. Soon you will find yourself chatting with people while standing in line at the grocery store – just for fun!

Visit a Foreign Country

Immersing yourself in another culture forces you out of your comfort zone and greatly expands your worldview. Without your familiar surroundings, you are forced to rely on yourself more – especially if you do not speak the language. A new and drastically different environment could help you discover another side of yourself, and the challenge of navigating unfamiliar territory will build your confidence and sense of capability. You can dip your toe into this one by visiting an English speaking nation with your family, or take the full plunge by trekking through the jungle on your own. The further you push it, the greater the payoff will be.

Look Yourself in the Eye

Look at yourself in the mirror for one full minute without breaking eye contact. Do this every day. It sounds silly, and this practice can be incredibly unnerving at first. It’s okay to giggle though – soon you’ll get the hang of it. Holding eye contact is incredibly intimate, and, even though it is uncomfortable, you are getting to know yourself better when you do it. Say nice things to yourself, and build a relationship. Yes, it’s a weird thing to do, but it’s oddly effective.

Face Your Fear

Most of us have some sort of silly, irrational fear that we keep from others. We may keep it secret because it is childish and embarrassing, or because it may be tied to an unpleasant moment in our past. Whatever the reason, the secretive nature of our fears give them more power, and knowing that they lurk beneath the surface of our lives can undermine our confidence. Do that thing that scares you every day for a week, even if it is by yourself. Overcoming your fear will be a fantastic personal victory – one you probably never thought possible – and fill you with a sense of freedom and pride.

These suggestions are deeply challenging, but they were designed that way on purpose. Thomas Jefferson once said “If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.” Push yourself out of your comfort zone – you’ll be glad you did.

The suppression of simple and effective medical science and medicines is common news these days. Many effective medicines that could cure deadly diseases never make their way to the general public because they would cause great loss to other giant industries who make billions from their medicines. Even the American Medical Association has been found […]

The suppression of simple and effective medical science and medicines is common news these days. Many effective medicines that could cure deadly diseases never make their way to the general public because they would cause great loss to other giant industries who make billions from their medicines. Even the American Medical Association has been found guilty by the U.S. federal courts of a conspiracy to destroy the chiropractic industry.

There are many true accounts of pioneering doctors and clinicians being threatened even assassinated in order to bury emerging cures. Such is the case here where seven doctors were found “suicided” around the same time. All of them had been involved in research focused on GcMAF’s potential as both a treatment and cure for cancer. For instance, Dr. Jeff Bradstreet, M.D was found dead on a river bank and his death was immediately ruled to be a suicide without much investigation about what really happened. Dr. Bradstreet had a gunshot wound to the chest.

So did he shoot himself and then drown in a river? Or was he was murdered by someone in order to bury his emerging cure for cancer? All these seven people were found dead within the holistic healing community. If GcMAF turns out to be 100% successful it will be a threat to the pharmaceutical industry, which makes tons of money by means of chemotherapy and radiation, both of which have been shown to cause more cancer.

GcMAF is legal in many nations around the world yet the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is calling it as an “unapproved drug”. The U.S. government conducted a raid on Dr. Bradstreet’s clinic, specifically seeking to confiscate GcMAF in order to shut down his research. It seems like big Pharma is allowed to test experimental drugs on the public, as long as it earns sufficient profits. Even a study conducted by Yale University’s School of Medicine proves that the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval process for testing new drugs is extremely inconsistent.

How Helpfull is GcMAF?

A video clip which has been posted to YouTube, reveals the true healing power of GcMAF. Scientists have shown that the immune system can be fully invigorated to destroy cancer cells on its own without the need for chemotherapy or radiation. By giving a certain amount of GcMAF, which is a human protein that the body makes naturally – though some people can’t produce it in the required amount, GcMAF acts as a ‘director’ of your immune system. 11 other health benefits were discovered so far: two that help with your bodies cells, three amazing effects on your brain, and 6 on cancer. GcMAF empowers your body to cure itself. A new microscopic footage released by First Immune shows this amazing remedy in action.

The video above shows GcMAF activating the body’s own macrophages that have the great power to attack and destroy breast cancer cells in vitro. Even the cancer fingers are also eaten and destroyed by the macrophages. GcMAF is not a drug available to cure cancer, it helps by providing the necessary immune power to eradicate and cure cancer naturally. A clinic in Japan sells an oral form of GcMAF to treat any diseases where the immune system is compromised.

If you are reading this, you are ready to take control of your mind. Since the beginning of our lives, our minds have been programmed by our surroundings and by the World at large. As we grow, evolve and awaken, we learn we have to take back control of our minds.
What are we taking control back from? Well, in part, the immense amount of cultural, societal educational and institutional programming that has greatly influenced who we are, how we view ourselves and our actions.
You don’t need to be a person who needs to feel imprisoned to sit still and be confined to a desk or a cubicle in order to conform. Your relationships don’t need to model modern day sitcoms. Your daily energy doesn’t need to be directed to mindless drama which is governed to distract us from deeper meaning and connection. We must clear this corruption within ourselves in order to change the World around us.
Distractions are everywhere, pulling at us and programming our minds toward needless points of focus meant to disempower us. To drive us into compulsive consumerism and selfishness, rather than community, connection and the drive for Global change in the small actions we take each day.

I want you to take back control of your mind, because I believe it’s imperative to your own personal health and well-being, as well as what’s required to step out in service to the World. I am here to serve, and I know you are too.

1) Be Hyper Selective about the Media you Consume

Marketers all across the Globe are tracking your patterns, buying your information and studying your habits in order to funnel you into purchasing products from the companies that hire them.
If you are inclined to cave, and make impulse unhealthy purchases, such as fast food, they are aware of that, even to the exact percentage of likelihood for you to make that impulse buy. They push ads upon us until our willpower gets weak, and they finally get us to cave.
This is one form of mind control being practiced publically every day. It’s manipulative and it was created to be. You have to take back control from these super rich mega-corporations by making strong willed healthy decisions that support your local community.
Media is always having us invest in fabricated stories in the form of movies and tv, to invest energy to made-up characters, rather than give sincere and powerful attention to our own lives.
Be hyper selective about the media you consume, because it could be consuming you. This isn’t shared to make you feel fearful. Rather, for you to embrace how incredibly powerful and valuable your energy, attention and decisions are.

2) Create Healthy Daily Rituals

Daily Rituals are the ultimate mind control hack that exist. Here’s an insight which changed my life.
How you choose to program your day, from morning to night, is up to you. Realize that companies everywhere have massive incentive to infiltrate your daily rituals with their own products and ads. There are countless of supportive and beneficial businesses who want to help you improve your lifestyle, just be selective about who you let in.
Your time, space and actions are sacred, and your daily rituals are your opportunity to value yourself and life. Make positive choices and know, consistency is everything when it comes to taking back control of your mind.Tip: Create & outline a perfect day from what you do when you get out of bed, how you spend your day and how you end it. Work each day to model your whole life after your perfect day.

3 ) Exercise & Get In Your Body

Did you know that it’s been scientifically proven that exercise literally makes you smarter?
All forms of exercise improve cognition, help re-build neuro-connectivity in the brain and prevent degeneration of the mind. If you want to practice a form of protest, there is no better one than getting in your body and getting it healthy and fit.
Read: Research Shows that Keeping a Journal is Great for the Mind, Body, and Soul
Our bodies are extensions of our minds & hearts. We must “live in our limbs” as we say. Stagnant energy of the mind builds in the body, and many people begin to slow down. Enter more television, internet surfing, impulsive food habits and mindless entrainment. Don’t go down that path, and if you are on it, stop! It can be extremely challenging, but don’t give up. You got this!

4 ) Learn How to Focus without getting Distracted

Harnessing our ability to focus on one thing is essential to mind control. Our minds love to wander, and in that wandering often times we end up in in places, and internet and social media black holes we never intended.
It’s imperative we learn to harness that energy and apply it to a specific focus. This can be one challenging practice, as cultural and technological programming, including multi-tab web surfing, means we get massive neuro-stimulation, including the release of brain rewarding chemicals, when we multi-task and are scattered.
Take back your power and learn to master the mind. Tony Robbins even said:

5 ) Be Selective About What You Invest in Energetically

I see people everyday blindly investing so much energy into things they don’t prefer. I’m equally as guilty, as it’s just too easy to get hooked on the latest trends, media scandal or even a frustrating person in your life.
Invest your energy very carefully and make sure each day the majority of your attention and energy is geared toward what you want for yourself, your life, your relationships and your surroundings. If you find yourself deeply entangled in having invested yourself energetically in something you don’t prefer, ask yourself what is it trying to teach you and then get clear on the next steps you need to withdraw your investment with care and consideration.

Don’t be hasty! As hastiness to change certain energetic investments often means we subconsciously get tangled in another investment we don’t prefer.

6 ) The Power of Perspective
